- “continued statement of Trevor Herbert, regarding the latter half of his years as a vampire hunter” PARDON? I thought he died in his sleep after the first half??

- “Note: several pages are missing from the file, around the time that he apparently did NOT die of lung cancer in the institute” jshsgs okay at least we can be surprised together Jonathan

- One of the anatomy things mimicking people, maybe?

- SPIDERS?????

- Okay. Okay okay okay. I suspect this is the same ‘kind’ of supernatural thing as Prentiss’ beehive and the ants from the last episode.

- Didnt the guy from the original spider tale choke on a spider (or ‘mysterious unidentified organic matter’)? Maybe a failed attempt to possess that victim?

- Uh ohhhhh Martin’s in troubleee

- Jonathan making me jump with the yelling CALM DOWWWWWN

- HE LIED ON HIS CV?????? 😭 Martin <333

- Jonathan is relieved… maybe now he’ll chill out with his suspicions/paranoia about Martin, at least.

Personal space

- SPACE STATION EPISODE??

- I dont know what this will be about but Im already picturing the ‘moon’s haunted’ post lol

- Giving that whole isolation speech only to reveal there was technically two other people up there is so shdgagga

- Mr Beast-ass experiment.

- I wonder if the Fairchilds are involved in this. No reason to think so, but its expensive and dramatic, so…

- Why is he aware that 6 weeks was the point where he’d start experiencing worse symptoms. Was he informed of that? Because thats bad science practice, it’s risking biasing or placebo-ing him.

- Oho he’s floating around in the vast emptiness. This has Fairchild written all over it!

- Starving himself to get out,,, oh poor guy :(

- I was fully thinking that I would actually like this ‘experiment’, one of my deepest flaws is thinking I could handle human isolation the way normal people cannot. Like yay, time to read and write! This means that, as opposed to the sky diving and cave diving episodes where I would never have ended up there, this episode has a unique scare factor in it in that i might be stupid enough to do it.

- “A consortium of various scientific and aerospace companies” AND WHO DO WE KNOW WITH STOCKS IN AEROSPACE COMPANIES?

- Sasha calling Jonathan out for going through her desk and recording their conversations… I’m pretty solidly on the side of that not being Sasha now, but I still like the assistants calling out Jonathan being inappropriate because of his paranoia, lol.

Trail Rations

- Benjamin Carlisle? Have we heard that name before or am I making up connections again?

- I know the Oregon trail was a real and tragic thing, but all i can think of when the statement giver talks about fevers and broken wheels is the game fjdhsggs

- This is the age old tragedy: a smart and capable women stuck with an attractive yet utterly stupid man 😔

- i do not have a lot of strong opinions on this one. Its disturbing- especially the part where the husband’s corpse keeps trying to bully her into cannibalising him- but i cant think of any concrete connections to the… everything else. Not yet, anyway.

- Aw, Martin defending Jonathan to Tim

- Jonathan, i think recording their conversations is, like, EXACTLY what Tim is complaining about

- “I need to be more careful” see you say that every time but you never are!

Patreon announcement

- Yes I know this isn’t a real episode (although it took me longer than it should’ve to clock that lol) but i have a comment: who pronounces it “pat-reon”??? Am I meant to be saying it like that?????

Recluse

- ooh, another part of the half way house guy 👀

- Oh?? Another table??

- WAIT. NO. THE TABLE. GRAHAMS TABLE??

- Interesting that Raymond didnt like Agnes… I was under the impression from the first part that while Agnes was Weird, she and Raymond were on the same side- or at least Raymond was trying to help (or ‘save’) her. I now think instead that they’re the ‘same’, but on opposing sides… Raymond uses whatever ability he has (or weilds the tables power) to make the misbehaving kids behave. Agnes uses it for… more nefarious means

- SPIDERS AGAIN???? Raymond was killing the older kids?????

- Maybe Agnes ISNT like Raymond maybe she doesn’t like how he uses his powers and thats why she killed him??

- Is it going to be a books? A Leitner perhaps?

- AN APPLE? Like the anatomy students???

- Ohhhh i bet those weird things in the apple in that old episode are the things that caused the spiders to engulf the older kids. So now the anatomy students are linked to the Prentiss pests… hmmm…

- Agnes’ kiss saved him. So she IS acting against Raymond, and on the side of good?

- I was about to be like ‘aw he doesnt want Martin to read the statement in case the spiders freak him out again!’ But no it was just Martin catching another stray lmao

- “Everyones avoiding me” I WONDER WHY. Jonathan i AGREE with you and i still think you’re taking it so far. Imagine how they feel!

- also I’m thrilled that the anatomy students have finally been pulled into this web so i can stop suggesting them every three episodes hsgsfsgag.

The observer effect

- consistent feeling of being watched? Wasnt that a red flag for Gertrude?

- “It’s not like i hadnt had stalkers before” sorry, stalkers plural?

- Oh, she’s a minor celebrity, okay. That makes sense lol

- Season 1 Jonathan would focus in on that “I was drinking a lot” comment at the end of the statement as a means to dismiss it. I dont think he will this time though. And you know what that is? Growth!

- Okay but I want to read one of this guys books now

- Hm. Maybe i should add this to a list of episodes i shouldnt watch sat in front of a dark window with no curtains.

- The mirror is out here giving “The Snow Queen” vibes and making me want to reread it…

- He was looking into atypical cults? Oh no.

- He found their ‘holy’ objects? Oh no.

- He was attending the institute?? HMMM. Especially since she feels watched. Especially since Gertrude seemed to link the feeling of being watched to the institute(s).

- Pardon? She MURDERED someone?

- She was going to burn the INSTITUTE?

- AN INTERVENTION?? Fjdhsgga

- The end of the episode coincided perfectly with the end of my row in crochet, yay.

The Observer Effect

hi !! im back, i had a short break because of gcse exams but i'm back:

the eye watchy cult entity thing !

— creepy box oh no

— Agnus Cartwright

— a box with just paper and a mirror in it is weird to be fair

— NO NOPE

— dont pick up the mirror

— DONT LOOK IN THE MIRROR ?

— nope fuck no

— yo what

— damn jon, harsh

— oh well no one's going to take you seriously now .

— oh !! she was going to blow up the archive

— OH NO :(

— no they have a point jon is being terrifying from his coworkers point of view

— they haven't lost respect theyre worried :(

Oh Jon :( , i'm glad they confronted him. hopefully that'll help him calm down (?)

So then, the watching entity is back! i think so far the list of people with the watch-ee thing is: Gertrude, Jon, the one from Mag. 53

the main trend is that theyre all linked to the magnus institute in some way, whether it be that they're an archivist. or in Rosa Meyer and (i assume), her brother Christopher's cases studying (?) the institute.

i'll make a final note here of the mirror incase it comes up again.

Statement ends.
